Time to Retire the Jersey...

No, not a leaving post. I've done that far too many times in my tenure here. This one is to announce the official end to Legacy. It is long past due, and doesn't need an announcement, necessarily, but I feel that it's time to stop beating the horse when it's been dead for so long already.

The Legacy Discussion subforum back at Forumer is now public. As my final act as Head of Development of The Legacy Team, I am ending our six-year run with making all of our information public. Feel more than free to use all within, and if you'd be so kind as to let me know if there's any sensitive information to edit out (Passwords and the like), that'd be nice.

I hope you guys all got a kick out of Legacy, because I certainly did. I'm sure I speak for the rest of the Legacy Team when I say that we had the greatest time doing everything, and I for one am kinda sad that we couldn't do more. Logistics and the nature of the Internet and this being a volunteer effort all hamper such things. That said, we accomplished so much, that it still amazes me. Doing Legacy (But also, everything Metanet-related) has given me the greatest of joys, but has also enriched my life in ways that I cannot possibly fathom - Not just my journey here, but the things that have come from it. But with all of us having left for greener (Or rather, different) pastures, I figured i was time to let the pipe dream go and let you guys have a small glimpse into some of the stuff that went down behind-the-scenes. There's a ton of insight there as to how much work we actually did, but you can also see some of our massively unfinished projects, the DoJ incident, and all! Enjoy, guys.

Here's one last link to the finalized Anthology pack, and thanks for the amazing time!

I know this wasn't directly related to Legacy and I realize that this thread probably doesn't need me eulogizing in it but I think that the singular thing that has had the greatest impact on me that spawned from this community in general (and Kablizzy specifically) is the phrase and the resultant message of "It's your legacy."

Should be required reading for all Metanetters.

This and this are some of the more interesting pieces, in case you don't want to search for the forum jewels.

Any tips on organizing and sustaining large projects?

Please tell me I am going to find out that "DoJ" stands for Department of Justice when I begin reading.

EDIT: it occurs to me that, in the unlikely event this whole situation plays out again someday with the moa subforum (ha ha), you all will flock to read it, expecting great genius and friendly bonding -- and you will just instead get lots of swearing and hatred, and some spam.
